2003 NetPro Elite 2000 Rafael Nadal Card #19 Card Graded Gem MT 10 and Auto Graded Gem MT 10 – Hand Signed Autograph
 
This is the rarest and most valuable Rafael Nadal Rookie Card there is. In 2003, NetPro began manufacturing tennis cards again for the first time in over a decade. Unlike Roger Federer and Serena Williams who both signed contracts with NetPro allowing their autographs in the set, Nadal did not. This meant NONE of Nadal’s 9 2003 NetPro Rookie Cards and 1 Italian 2003 Campioni Di Future Card (available in next lot!) had autographs. Nadal autographs first appeared in Netpro’s 2005 issue, not on his rookie cards.
 
This card up for auction is one of only two of a grand total of over 8000 Nadal 2003 Nadal Rookie Cards with both the card and autograph graded perfect Gem Mint 10.
